OU Wide Receiver John Humphrey To Transfer

Talented OU redshirt freshman wide receiver John Humphrey announced Wednesday afternoon his intention to transfer via his Twitter account.

https://twitter.com/Presidential___/status/722871552102895616

It’s a move that certainly comes as a surprise considering much was expected from the speedster heading into his second year on campus after redshirting in 2015. It would be fair to speculate as to the reasons for this move, though at a position with that many bodies and competition things like this are almost inevitable at times.

Either way, Humphrey’s decision to leave the program only further adds to the opportunity at slot receiver following the loss of an all-time program great in Sterling Shepard.

Regardless, best of luck to the young man wherever he eventually winds up.

    next up

  • roygbell says:

    Well that is a bummer. Most thought this kid was ready to have a good year in 2016.

  • SWoods says:

    Dang, I was looking forward to seeing him.

  • Scott says:

    Their is so much depth at WR I kind of expected this but I didn’t think he would transfer.

  • metzker says:

    Well,that answers why so many WRS i guess.

  • MikeyBoom says:

    Hopefully he is the only one leaving. Won’t be surprised if there are more transfers

  • LandThieve3 says:

    Wasn’t going to get PT I would assume

  • Vegas_Sooner21 says:

    I won’t lose an ounce of sleep and I don’t think any of you will either. His speed is something all of us want, but the bad case of dropsies caused him to get buried on the depth chart and already get recruited over.

  • Daryl says:

    Wow

  • KJ1123 says:

    Good luck to John, gotta do what’s best for him.

    • metzker says:

      Agreed,best of luck to John.

    • MikeyBoom says:

      you hearing about any possible transfers that will be happening?

  • Neworleanssooner says:

    Not sure what “talents” he is referring to. We saw little to no glimpse of it. He seemed like a good kid, but we want hungry kids who want to be here and that want to compete. More reps for the next guy up.

    • Drew says:

      Come on, the kid is plenty talented, and we don’t really know why he’s leaving. No need to bash him like that.

      • metzker says:

        1000 upvotes!

      • D Hunter Sanchez says:

        Without any other information to the contrary, he was not going to crack the two-deep. This is obvious, unless again, other info comes out. If he wasn’t going to get on the field, better for both parties to move on. If you can’t get on the field, the talent has not emerged.

      • J.r. Kamm says:

        Amen, brother.

  • CrimsonNative says:

    Now we know where that H-back scholarship came from.

  • SoonerinLondon says:

    Come back Mr. Rison.

  • Bob Edwards says:

    Good luck young man.

  • 22dupree says:

    Good luck to young Mr Humphrey. Too bad we never got to see him in the open field.

  • metzker says:

    Where does John count on schollys?

  • DCinAZ says:

    Wow! I guess things weren’t working out like we’d hoped.

  • vexroid says:

    So, Hunter Rison…what’s up?

  • Slim Sooner says:

    Well, I hate attrition because it almost always means something went wrong somewhere. Not that long ago we were excited about this young man and what he might do here. Sad that it didn’t work out that way and wish him only the best of luck in his future.

  • Matt says:

    am I wrong to let this bother me? The 2011 class didn’t happen overnight

    • Zack says:

      I would say so. If he wasn’t going to play then why waste the scholarship? I wish everyone that spent 3 years on campus and saw no playing time would transfer too. With our cachet this receuiting cycle we need to load up on talent so every open spot helps.

  • Will Narramore says:

    Does this mean we take Omar Manning now or are we still technically full at WR?

  • Soonerfandave84 says:

    Good luck young man. Hope everything works out for ya!

  • Jeff says:

    Issues in the hiz house?

  • Mizuno45 says:

    Well, on a positive note, this provides #soonersquad17 an opportunity to fill another scholarship

  • mizzOUstu702 says:

    Disappointing to hear, but best of luck to the young man. I still think we’re about 10 deep at receiver (including Mark Andrews; not including Mixon), it’s just in-game experience we’re lacking. If one of Mykel Jones, Zach Farrar, or Adrian Hardy is good enough for PT, we’ll be fine. Even if those three redshirt, I think we’ll be fine.

  • LottsSocks says:

    2015 Redshirted…named Oklahoma Scout Team Offensive Player of the Year. Early enrollee rated a four-star receiver by ESPN and a three-star receiver by Scout, 247Sports and Rivals. Had offers from Baylor, Clemson and Notre Dame, among others.

  • Hollerback says:

    What the heck does his pastor know about football?

  • RBear says:

    Well that sux- bad. This guy was gonna be a really good PR. Something we really need.

    • hOUligan says:

      He appeared to have the ‘catching’ part down after spring practice. Was set to work on ‘running’ w the ball in fall camp. Was seriously looking to get his speed on the field but it appears he was behind a few people and didn’t want to wait. Best of luck and hope he does good things wherever he lands.

  • Tulsa Terry says:

    Scout team Offensive POY this is a shock. Is it 4-20?

  • Wilson says:

    I thought it would be either him or my favorite player to never see the field Dallis Todd. I wish the young man the best, unless he transfers to A&M, enough of that noise.

  • albsooner says:

    Disappointed..as others mentioned, losing Scout Team POY is a big loss. He was able to fire against our 1’s, with a back up QB.

    Hope he finds what he is looking for, and wish it would have turned out different. Good luck John!

  • 47 Straight OU Know says:

    Good evening Brainiacs. ” It is a great evening to be a SOOONER” it is upsetting to loose a WR. However does this mean something about the competition? And how classy is Bob to always grant a full release? And good luck to Mr. Humphrey at his next location.

  • Brien Brown says:

    Does this open up another WR ship, mean I know we have still been after Manning but, does this make it not so number crunching?

  • cheezyq says:

    I’m curious how a pastor gets involved in a young man’s decision to transfer to another college.

  • Chris White says:

    Sucks to lose him but I wish him well as long as he doesn’t put on that awful burnt Poopy Orange colored jersey. I wonder if the team has a good sense of the depth chart now and that’s why he’s transferring? Hoping Jordan Smallwood aka Dez can stay healthy and be an impact player

  • jonnyBgood says:

    That sucks. I was pretty jacked to see him play this year and thought he had a good chance to handle PR duties. It happens. Best of luck to the young man wherever he ends up.
